Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The first two reports dealt with nuclear power (2003) and coal (2007).

” The MIT report said that natural gas should be seen as a “ bridge ” to a low-carbon regime, rather than as the ultimate long-term solution itself. MIT: The Future of Natural Gas. Natural gas use in the transportation sector is likely to increase, with the primary benefit being reduced oil dependence.

As of 30 June 2014, there were approximately 47,000 active oil and gas leases on public lands, and approximately 95,000 oil and gas wells. Other reforms will also include important measures to target where oil and gas leasing occurs and protect sensitive areas that are too special to drill. Fracking regulations.

Floating NPPs can provide a reliable power supply not only to remote settlements, for example, in the Far North and Far East regions, but also to large industrial facilities such as oil platforms. The concept takes advantage of two mature technologies: light-water nuclear reactors and offshore oil and gas drilling platforms.

The oxy-combustion process replaces the air used for combustion with a mixture of oxygen and recycled plant emissions (flue gas) and/or water for temperature control. The new selections announced today are part of a two-phase effort to evaluate and develop advanced oxy-combustion projects that yield cost-competitive options for CCUS.

Researchers at MIT have devised a simple, soluble metal oxide system to capture and transform CO 2 into useful organic compounds. Noble metals such as ruthenium, palladium, and platinum, which are relatively rare, have proven effective catalysts, but their high price makes them less attractive for large-scale industrial use.

A commercially viable OCM process—which has been sought for some 30 years— would decouple the production of mainstream chemicals and fuels from crude oil and its current price instabilities, along with reducing energy consumed for processing. Today this molecule is made from oil, by a process known as steam cracking.

GM killed that car because of back room deals with oil companies, and now they expect us to believe that they are just so cutting edge now?
